    It's the Optimus from the Generation Toys GT-5 Leader two-pack. It's roughly Legends-sized, if you're willing to let scale slide a bit.

    The level of engineering is mind-blowing for its size. From the original pics we saw before release, I thought the front of the truck would become a backpack and it would have a faux bot mode torso, but it actually has an MP-10 inspired transformation. The rifle even folds up to store on the underside of the truck. The tires are rubber, too!

    Yes. Yes, you do. He's not 100% perfect. The arms are hollow on the underside and the transformation can be really fiddly due to the complexity at that size, but he is an awesome figure. I don't think I'll need another Legends-sized Optimus again.

    Bought my first 3rd Party the other day... and man, I'm impressed. I love movie Bee... and I'll pick up MP Bee... but for some reason I absolutely love this version.

    So took a quick photo and did some Photoshop work! Enjoy!!

    I wish I could choose between the MPM and Weijiang bees... (probably a KO mpm if one occurred)

    I hate how much unbroken roof ends up on bee backs, the mpm does away with that nicely, but the chest is more movie accurate on weijiang.. and the feet.

    I suddenly have a craving for a rubbery cheeseburger and a box of chicken nuggets.

    Tried my hand at adding sonic waves to Downbeat. Happy enough with it but with a bit more care and time spent on it i reckon i could get it looking a bit better.
